Community Purchased through HUD Assumption

Chad Mundy of the Knapp-Stahler Group of Marcus & Millichap sold an 82-unit assisted living/memory care community in Lewiston, Idaho. Built in phases in the early 2000s, the community featured five separate buildings, one of which was vacant after sustaining damage from a flood. As a result, occupancy was lower, based on the 89 licensed beds, and there was a roughly 50% Medicaid census. The asset was struggling financially, and the previous owner had not made debt payments for months. It was purchased via a HUD assumption by an experienced operator who had already taken over management and begun an operational turnaround.  Read More »

Healthpeak Properties Jumps Back into Seniors Housing

Ever since Healthpeak Properties essentially exited the seniors housing market in 2021, we had wondered when they would come back. We even thought they could have jumped back in just a year later when rumors were circulating that Brookdale Senior Living was in talks about a potential sale.  The M&A opportunity in seniors housing, and the fact that its REIT peer group have been accelerating their acquisition efforts in the last year, must have been too good to pass up, as Healthpeak is now forming Janus Living, a REIT that will own, acquire and develop seniors housing properties under a RIDEA structure. An IPO is planned in the first half of 2026, after which Healthpeak intends to... Read More »
